The project is being constructed by fluence energy pty ltd under an epc contract arrangement. The mortlake battery project is a proposed 300 mw / 650 mwh battery energy storage project being developed by origin energy at the mortlake power station site. Origin energy are developing a new 300mw / 650mwh bess at the mortlake power station (mops) in moyne shire For more information, visit origin energy’s website. The mortlake bess connection is a landmark in the country’s clean energy journey, enabling deeper integration of renewables and reinforcing grid stability Spanning 1,060 hectares in mortlake, the $700 million brightnight project features 360 mw of solar generation capacity and a 300 mw battery energy storage system.
Each transformer, measuring around 9m long and 2.5m wide, can handle up to 180mva of electrical load. E battery energy storage facility at mortlake power station At a total cost of around $400 million, the battery, situated near the existing mortlake power station, will provide grid forming and stability services to the region’s growing number of wind and solar farms, particularly in victoria’s south west renewable energy zone.
